Electronic Spreadsheet

Tabular listing has many advantages ranging from time management to efficient scheduling of tasks. Electronic spreadsheets allow the user to tabulate and analyze data, using its easy-to-use interface. An electronic spreadsheet is a staple application used among accountants, management staff, and IT professionals. It is used in various sectors worldwide for data management. An electronic spreadsheet is a system and computer software that could be used to do numerical computations automatically. Spreadsheet application programs are often organized as a table with rows and columns. Each row and column intersect to form a cell, which may be used to store data. These data can take the form of a written label, a number, or a formula that combines information from other cells.

A vertical parabolic curve is to be used under a grade-separation structure. The curve is 250 m long and the minus grade of 3.8 percent intersects the plus grade of 5.4 percent at station of 0+120.424. Calculate the low point of the curve if the intersection at station 0+120.424 is at elevation 230.085 m.
An equal-tangent equal tangent vertical curve connects a +2.10% initial grade and -2.70% final grade. The PVT is at station 127+18 and elevation 206.52 ft. If the design speed is 75 mi/h, what is the elevation of the curve at station 121+58? You answer must be in ft and rounded to the second digit, if you need to use values from tables, use "design" values (usually last column), not "calculated".
